vt102 0.5

Simple vt102 emulator, useful for screen scraping.

[vt102](http://github.com/samfoo/vt102) is an in memory vt1xx terminal emulator. It supports all the most common terminal escape sequences, including text attributes and color.

It’s an in memory vt1XX-compatible terminal emulator. The XX stands for a series video terminals, developed by [DEC](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Equipment_Corporation) between 1970 and 1995. The first, and most famous one, was VT100 terminal, which is now a de-facto standard for all virtual terminal emulators. [vt102](http://github.com/samfoo/vt102) is one such emulator.

Why would you want to use a terminal emulator?

• Screen scraping some terminal or curses app.

• Writing your own graphical terminal emulator.

• … seriously, that’s about it.

Here’s a quick example:

>>> from vt102 import screen, stream
>>> st = stream()
>>> sc = screen((10, 10))
>>> print(sc)
["          ",
 "          ",
 "          ",
 "          ",
 "          ",
 "          ",
 "          ",
 "          ",
 "          ",
 "          "]
>>> sc.attach(st)
>>> st.process("Text goes here")
>>> print(sc)
["Text goes ",
 "here      ",
 "          ",
 "          ",
 "          ",
 "          ",
 "          ",
 "          ",
 "          ",
 "          "]
>>> st.process("\x1b[H\x1b[K")
>>> print(sc)
["          ",
 "here      ",
 "          ",
 "          ",
